The recruitment of Senior Executive Services (positions above Level 1- 8 or equivalent) are outside of the scope of this CUA.

Category 3: HR Investigations

This arrangement is to meet the needs of agencies seeking HR Investigation Services in relation to a range of issues including:

allegations of misconduct

bullying and employee grievances

advice to a public authority on investigation frameworks, processes and techniques

The arrangement is designed to meet investigation requirements at the higher end of the spectrum of allegations and is not intended to be used for matters which require informal interviews, analysis and recommendations.

When to use a licenced or non-licenced investigator

Buyers can use a licensed investigator for complex investigations where having an investigator license would be advantageous. Non-licensed Contractors are prequalified for the CUA based on their government experience with HR investigations and knowledge of the Public Sector Management Act 1994.

Licensed investigators have completed Certificate III in Investigative Services, identity and character checks and police clearances. Please note that where an investigation relates to “conduct” and is not exempt under the Security and Related Activities (Control) Regulations 1997 (Cl 13A) a relevant investigators license(s) may be required. Appropriate licenses may be required where, for example an investigation relates to a grievance concerning the conduct of an employee.

All CUA Contractors are required to be aware of circumstances when relevant licenses are required to undertake an investigation. Where a licence is required and a Contractor does not have a relevant licence to undertake an investigation they must:

inform the customer they are unable to undertake the investigation, or

if it comes to light during the course of an investigation, the Contractor must cease the investigation and inform the customer at the earliest opportunity.

What are the buying rules?

Work valued up to $50,000 (inc. GST)

Verbal quotes are required. You should refer to the listed hourly rates in the Price Schedule and approach a contractor for a verbal quote. Buyers should then directly engage the preferred contractor by confirming the work assignment via email.

Work valued from $50,001 (inc. GST)

If it can be foreseen that the cost of an engagement will exceed $50,000, then buyers must obtain two to five quotes from selected contractors by communicating requirements using the Order Form. A decision can then be made on which contractor represents a value-for-money outcome.

Policy requirements

Buyers should be aware of the following requirements under State Supply Commission policies and Treasurer’s Instruction 820, and whether or not they are applicable to purchases from this CUA:

Policy requirement

Applicable to purchases under this CUA

Buyers must publish details of their purchase, or any variation to any purchase, under this CUA on TendersWA.

Yes, for all purchases (and variations) of $50,000 and above.

Buyers must record the purchase on the agency’s contract register, as instructed within the buying agency’s financial management manual.

Yes, for all purchase above $50,000 or as otherwise required by the buying agency’s financial management manual.

Buyers must submit a procurement plan, evaluation report and contract management plan to the State Tender Review Committee (STRC).

Yes, for all purchases of $5 million and above.

Note: Submission of:

a procurement plan is not required where the Accountable Authority decides that the plan would be of no benefit due to the nature of that procurement

a contract management plan is not required where the Accountable Authority decides the purchase is a one-off that is not the subject of a period contract arrangement, or that the plan would be of no benefit due to the nature that procurement

any of these documents is not required if, in exceptional circumstances, the Executive Director of Government Procurement approves an exemption from the requirement.

Buyers must submit a contract variation memo to STRC.

Yes, for all variations of $5 million and above.

Note: Submission of a contract variation memo is not required if, in exceptional circumstances, the Executive Director of Government Procurement approves an exemption from the requirement.

Buyers must involve the Department of Finance in the procurement.

No, not required for purchases under this CUA.

Buyers must obtain approval from an authorised officer of the Department of Finance to purchase through an alternative arrangement to this CUA.

Yes, at all values, if the Buyer is a Public Authority and the delivery location is in the Perth metropolitan area.

Note: Public authorities are not required to obtain the approval of or advice from the Department of Finance when purchasing from Australian Disability Enterprises or registered Aboriginal businesses , regardless of value.

Requesting police or other security checks?

When engaging a Contractor to carry out HR or investigation services the consultant(s) carrying out the engagement will be responsible for the privacy and integrity of sensitive personal information. Therefore buyers may require consultants to undergo police clearance and/or other security checks as appropriate.The costs of all such police or security checks are to be covered by the Contractor and for this reason buyers should discuss their requirements with the Contractor before entering into an engagement. Buyers should also specify their requirements in the Order Form.

Exemption from using this CUA

Finance is responsible for processing and approving all requests from public authorities seeking exemption from using a mandatory CUA. Requests for an exemption are considered on a case-by-case basis, and a requesting agency must be able to demonstrate that a business need cannot be adequately met by the relevant CUA.

Exemption requests should be directed to the Director of Common Use Arrangements through an email to the contract manager in the first instance. Requests for exemption may be received by posted letter or email, but must be in writing and provide sufficient explanation and background to enable the request to be considered. The requesting officer should be the Accountable Authority or delegate of the agency.

What will it cost?

Pricing and payment options

The rates quoted by contractors are maximum rates and lower rates can be negotiated. Make sure to request a project cost estimate prior to engaging a contractor to ensure value for money.

Buyers should consider negotiating a fixed rate on projects where appropriate. This may be a more cost effective approach.
View the Price Schedule to obtain prices for the services you require.

Pricing

Contractors have quoted maximum hourly rates for each consultant across two levels of experience. These two levels are listed below:

Experience Level 1

Consultant with 10 years or more experience.

Experience Level 2

Consultant with up to 10 years experience.

Refer to individual Contractor Profiles and cross reference the consultants’ experience level with the hourly rate in the Price Schedule.

Additional charges

Some contractors charge additional fees above their hourly rate (e.g. for photocopying, travel etc). These charges are outlined in the Price Schedule (available through the ‘additional pricing’ tabs at the base of the Price Schedule). Any additional charges must be itemised separately in the both the Order Form and on the contractor’s invoice. No other charges can be applied other than those listed in the Price Schedule.

Payment by Purchasing Card

The government Purchasing Card (P-Card) offers a quick and convenient method of payment allowing many goods and services to be efficiently purchased.
Always remember to inform the contractor that you wish to pay by P-Card, at the time of ordering the product or service, and ensure they clearly understand that they must send the tax invoice directly to you, the cardholder. The Contractor Profile documents list those contractors who accept payment by P-Card.

Discuss and obtain a shared understanding of the scope of the engagement and seek advice on the circumstances that may lead to a variation.

Request an estimate of hours, additional costs and timeframes or where this is not feasible negotiate a strategy to monitor costs such as progress meetings to discuss hours worked and number of hours required to complete the investigation.

Negotiate rates as the CUA rates are maximum hourly rates.

Request the name of the consultant(s) assigned to the work and specify where you require a specific consultant or a licensed investigator.

You can evaluate which contractor represents best value for money for your needs by referring to the information in the Price Schedule and the applicable contractor profile documents.

Once you have established value, then contact the preferred contractor to make your purchase.

Burgess and Sons Consulting has undertaken in excess of 600 misconduct, disciplinary, grievance and substandard performance (s79 Public Sector Management Act) investigations for over 100 organisations comprising WA state government agencies, in addition to numerous local government cities, towns and shires, commonwealth departments and private sector organisations throughout Western Australia from 1999 to the present, with particular and specific experience in successfully completing complex and sensitive investigations. As a former Breach of Public Sector Standards reviewer, a significant number of breach reviews have been undertaken initially for the Commissioner for Public Sector Standards and more recently for agencies requesting an independent assessment of a breach claim.

Peter has also tutored and lectured at university in a number of Management and Human Resources units at undergraduate (first second and third year) levels and postgraduate units, and spent five years as a Management Consultant with Ernst & Young.

All investigations are independent and are undertaken in a bias free and extremely thorough manner ensuring procedural fairness with a high degree of confidentiality with findings made only on the evidence presented, in an objective manner. With regard to grievance investigations that are subject to the Grievance Resolution Standard, reports are written that address all the issues raised in a grievance which ensures the minimum standard of merit, equity and probity as required by that standard is met, which precludes any subsequent breach claim submitted having substance. Disciplinary and misconduct investigations are written to a standard that meets the requirements of the WAIRC or the Fair Work Commission should a respondent submit a claim to either of those bodies.

The combined expertise of our consultants offers a range of highly developed and effective approaches. We understand exactly how positive workplaces and well trained, focused people are a crucial advantage to any organisation.

The Emergency Support Network is dedicated to providing best practice, timely and practical investigation services. With extensive experience in providing investigative services to government, local government, and private sector organisations, ESN can conduct investigations into a range of highly complex issues. We are adept at investigating: grievances, sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, misconduct, disciplinary issues, and other workplace concerns. Our experience extends to reviewing prior investigations, as well as having our investigations, favourably reviewed in other forums, such as the CCC, WAIRC, PSC, FWC and courts. We are well versed in contemporary public sector practices, policy and frameworks as well as general legislative requirements. We will objectively investigate every complaint, dispute or concern with sensitivity, in a neutral and objective manner, and at all times promoting the principles of procedural fairness and natural justice. Our investigations are transparent, systematic and timely. We provide reports that are useful and have achievable recommendations based upon the evidenced findings.

Under the direction of Carla Fotev, investigations are allocated to the most appropriate Investigator to meet the required scope. For example, we are able to match the Investigator to an assignment whereby there may be sensitivities such as cultural requirements, or particular background knowledge / gender may be more beneficial for the role. We seek at all times to provide a consistent and high level of service, that is up to the standards that we believe our Client agencies should expect. All of ESN Consultants are aware of their requirements to carry out services in accordance with an agency’s policies, procedures and with due respect for confidentiality and Occupational Safety and Health requirements.
